There are few places better for cross-country skiing in Finland than the resort of Yllas. With over 300km of trails waiting to be explored, you'll have the choice of gentle, flat terrain, demanding downhills, and mystical night-time trails in an area that offers the world's cleanest air. Being only 200km from the Arctic Circle, you may even be lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights as they perform their ethereal dance across the sky.
Stay in a beautiful lodge in Basecamp Oulanka, which overlooks the breath-taking Juuma Lake. Enjoy a variety of pursuits including dogsledding and snowmobiling at Oulanka National Park without hardly seeing another soul. Plus, you can take part in our Citizen Science Departures, allowing you to get involved in the collection of freshwater samples during your stay. You'll be contributing both locally and globally to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity.

It's no secret that snow and cold temperatures are to be expected on your winter holiday, so ensure you pack lots of thermal layers and a heavy-duty winter coat. Hiking or ski trousers are also an essential and must be warm, comfortable, and waterproof.
